This section describes the features that are new in the SGD version 4.41 release.
This section includes the following topics:
SGD Administrators can now configure security automatically for an SGD server, using a single tarantella command. The following commands are now available:
tarantella security enable – Makes an SGD server secure
tarantella security disable – Restores the security settings of an SGD server, to the state before running tarantella security enable
The tarantella security enable command performs the following configuration:
Installs a server certificate
Enables HTTP over Secure Sockets Layer (HTTPS) connections to the SGD web server
Configures the SGD server for firewall traversal
Secures the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) connections to the SGD server
Enables SGD security services
Restarts the SGD server and SGD web server
The following limitations apply for these commands:
The SGD server must not be in an array.
The SGD server must have a fresh installation of SGD. The commands cannot be used if you are upgrading the software on an SGD server.
See the Oracle Secure Global Desktop 4.6 Administration Guide for more details about the tarantella security enable and tarantella security disable commands.
A new attribute (--allowkioskescape) enables a pull-down header for Windows applications and X applications running in kiosk mode.
The pull-down header includes icons for minimizing and closing the application window.
To display the pull-down header when this attribute is enabled, move the mouse to the top of the application window.
To enable or disable the pull-down header, configure the attribute for the Windows application or X application object. For example:
$ tarantella object edit \ --name "o=applications/cn=IndigoProject" --allowkioskescape true
Note - Currently, this attribute is only configurable from the command line.
SGD version 4.41 includes support for Sun Service Tags. If the Sun Service Tags software is present on the SGD host, SGD creates and registers a new service tag automatically during installation.
Registration of service tags is attempted on every instance of tarantella start until successful, after which registration does not take place again. This means that even if the Service Tags software is not present when SGD is installed, SGD will still register with it if you install the Service Tags software on the SGD host at a later date.
For more information about Sun Service Tags, see http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hubs/connection/tasks/register.jsp.
There is a new server/ad log filter, which enables logging of errors related to Active Directory authentication.
For example, you can use this log filter to find out why an Active Directory user cannot log in to SGD.
SGD version 4.41 enables you to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security when connecting to an Active Directory server, without using client certificates. This means that an SGD server can meet security requirements in an environment where client certificates are not required, or are not a viable option.The Oracle Secure Global Desktop 4.6 Administration Guide provides details of how to configure this feature.
